Canada Tax Brackets 2026: Federal and Provincial Rates

Updated

The federal government taxes income in five brackets, at rates from 14% on the first $58,523 of taxable income to 33% on income over $258,482. Your province or territory taxes the same income again with its own brackets, and the two taxes are added together. The 2026 brackets apply to income earned in 2026, reported on the return filed in 2027. Income earned in 2025 goes on the 2025 return, filed in 2026, with the 2025 tables.

Source: Canada Revenue Agency – Last year tax rates and income brackets (2025), 2025. Verified September 5, 2026. The federal tax rate decreased from 15% to 14% on July 1, 2025, making the blended rate 14.5% for the 2025 tax year as a whole (not a clean 14% or 15%).

Each year the CRA raises the bracket thresholds and most credit amounts with inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index, and the new amounts take effect on January 1. For 2026 the increase was 2%. Next year's thresholds appear on the CRA's indexation page once announced, and on this page when they are.

The basic personal amount

The basic personal amount is why the first dollars of income are not taxed: it is a credit that lets you earn a minimum amount before paying federal income tax. For 2026, the federal basic personal amount is $16,452, a non-refundable credit at the lowest rate (14%); it is reduced gradually for net income above $181,440, down to $14,829 at $258,482 and above. Each province and territory has its own basic personal amount. Each province’s and territory’s amount is in its section below; the basic personal amount guide explains the reduction and the other credits.

How tax brackets work

  • Each rate applies only to the income within its bracket.
  • Provincial or territorial tax applies in addition to federal tax.

So a raise that moves you into a higher bracket costs you the higher rate only on the part of the raise above the threshold; the rest of your income is taxed as before.

Example. Take an Ontario resident with $90,000 of taxable income. Before any credits, federal tax is:

Part of the incomeRateTax
First $58,52314%$8,193.22
The next $31,47720.5%$6,452.79
Total, before credits$14,646.01

Ontario tax is worked out the same way on Ontario’s brackets. Credits, starting with the federal and Ontario basic personal amounts, then reduce both taxes, so the tax actually owed is lower than this.

Marginal tax rate calculator

Your marginal tax rate is the tax on your next dollar of income. Enter your income and your province or territory:

Combined marginal tax rate
Federal marginal rate
Provincial or territorial marginal rate
Combined marginal rate
Average tax rate
Federal tax
Provincial or territorial tax
Total income tax
Income after income tax
Your next $1,000 of taxable income
Federal tax on it
Provincial or territorial tax on it
Total tax on it
You keep

The calculator works out your federal and provincial or territorial tax with the basic personal amounts, then works it out again with a little more income: the extra tax is your marginal rate. It claims no other credits, so CPP, EI and other credits are not in its figures; for tax on a salary with them, use the income tax calculator.

Marginal and average (effective) tax rates

Your marginal rate is the federal bracket rate plus your provincial bracket rate at your income. Your average tax rate is your total income tax divided by your income. Continuing the example:

Ontario, $90,000 of taxable incomeAmount
Federal rate on the next dollar20.5%
Ontario rate on the next dollar9.15%
Marginal rate (combined)29.65%
Extra income tax on the next $1,000 earned$297
Federal and Ontario income tax on the whole $90,000, after the basic personal amounts$18,462
Average (effective) tax rate20.5%

The average rate is below the marginal rate because the first part of the income is taxed at the lowest rates and part of it is sheltered by the basic personal amount. The tax figures use the same model as the calculator above: federal and Ontario tax on the taxable income after the federal and Ontario basic personal amounts, plus the Ontario Health Premium. Other credits, such as an employee’s CPP and EI credits, are left out.

Why your real marginal rate can differ from the brackets

Some taxes and credits change with income, so the extra tax on a raise can differ from the bracket rates:

  • Ontario adds a surtax once Ontario tax passes a threshold, and its Health Premium rises in steps (see Ontario).
  • The federal basic personal amount shrinks for net income above $181,440.
  • Manitoba’s basic personal amount is phased out between $200,000 and $400,000 of net income (see Manitoba).
  • British Columbia’s tax reduction shrinks as net income rises past $25,570 (see British Columbia).
  • Quebec residents’ federal tax is reduced by the Quebec abatement, which lowers the federal part of their rate (see Quebec).

For ways to reduce the tax you pay, see the RRSP guide, the income tax calculator and the deductions and credits hub.

BC’s basic personal amount is $13,216. For 2026, BC raised its lowest rate from 5.06% to 5.6% and indexed its brackets by 2.2%; its 2026 budget then paused indexing of the brackets for the 2027 to 2030 tax years, so the thresholds stay at their 2026 levels over those years.

The BC tax reduction is a non-refundable credit for people with lower net income. For 2026 it is up to $690, reduced by 3.56% of net income over $25,570, and reaches zero at $44,952 of net income.

Manitoba stopped indexing its bracket thresholds and its basic personal amount from the 2025 tax year, so the thresholds stay at $47,000 and $100,000. The CRA’s current-year rates page shows indexed Manitoba thresholds of $47,564 and $101,200; the CRA’s payroll formulas, which apply Manitoba’s announcement, use $47,000 and $100,000, and this page follows them.

Manitoba’s basic personal amount is $15,780, and it shrinks at higher incomes:

  • The phase-out applies from the 2025 tax year.
  • The amount is phased out over net income from $200,000 to $400,000.
  • With net income of $400,000 or more, there is no Manitoba basic personal amount.

These are bracket rates before the Ontario surtax, which raises the marginal rate once provincial tax passes the surtax thresholds; at the top, the combined rate with the surtax is 53.53%. The Ontario Health Premium is separate.

Ontario’s basic personal amount is $12,989. Three Ontario rules change what you pay compared with the bracket rates alone.

The Ontario surtax

Ontario charges a surtax on basic Ontario tax, on top of the bracket rates:

  • The surtax is calculated on basic Ontario tax, after credits.
  • 20% of Ontario tax above $5,818.
  • Plus 36% of Ontario tax above $7,446.

The Ontario Health Premium

  • You are an Ontario resident; the premium is collected through the income tax system (usually deducted from pay or pension).
  • It is $0 at a taxable income of $20,000 or less, rising to $900 above $200,600.

In most cases it is deducted from your pay or pension as part of income tax, so it shows inside the income tax line on a pay stub.

The Low-Income Workers Tax Credit (LIFT)

  • You were resident in Canada at the start of the year.
  • You were resident in Ontario at the end of the year.
  • You had employment income.
  • You owe Ontario income tax; the credit is non-refundable and doesn't reduce the Ontario Health Premium.
  • Your individual adjusted net income is under $50,000.
  • Your adjusted family net income is under $82,500.
  • You did not spend more than six months in prison during the year.
  • The credit is the lesser of $875 and 5.05% of employment income.
  • The credit is reduced by 5% of the greater of adjusted individual net income over $32,500 and adjusted family net income over $65,000.

Source: Ministère des Finances du Québec – Parameters of the personal income tax system for 2026, 2026. Verified September 5, 2026. Quebec administers its own separate provincial tax system (not collected by CRA). Quebec residents receive a 16.5% federal tax abatement to compensate.

The CRA’s rate tables refer Quebec to Revenu Québec; the thresholds above are from Quebec’s Ministry of Finance, which raised them by 2.05% for 2026. Quebec residents file a separate Quebec return with Revenu Québec, and their federal tax is reduced by the refundable Quebec abatement of 16.5% of basic federal tax; someone with a business establishment outside Quebec calculates it on Form T2203. Quebec’s basic personal amount is $18,952. The Quebec income tax guide covers the Quebec return, QPP and QPIP.
